So the problem is that when you use the the finder thingy, the absolute path is inserted? But you can successfully enter relative paths and paths via sym links by hand? Of course entering this by hand is painful I suspect ....
I have a subversion repo I keep saurvey data in and the other Philip is workin on a map in this repo. So if he enters absolute paths into the therion map, I cannot check out his work and compile it on my machine without changing the paths. Hopefully this is a very clear statement of the problem.
